Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
punters just look at the end result!!!!
too bad they dont allow protests hey punter, if so we would be calling this another fine cotton scandal.. Did the papers mention the Jude Bolton duck for a cheap free or that weak as custard 50meters late in the game..
Keep reading up on those quality Nikki tuggwell columns in Sydney!!!

What's up? Pav not getting enough Charlie Points for hitting the wood?

Pav is not a dirty sniper Goodes is. More respect for Pav than Sniper Goodes.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
If the ball is locked into the attacking 50, then a free kick almost always comes out of it when the pressure is on and fatigue levels high.
If the ball had been in the WCE 50, the opposite result would have been likely with Sydney leaving empty handed.
Sydney don't have a huge pool of AFL journos, much to our frustration but Nikki does a good enough job. I don't mind, she doesn't offend the senses the way that Caro does down there.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
You are joking aren't you? Sniper? The guy is unfairly niggled into submission. WCE does not have the man power to stop Goodes fairly so they spend the first quarter scragging like amateurs.
As for WCE, Hunter the Hero is world class niggler, scragger and all round dead-leg exponent. It's too bad he's only good for 10 minutes a game because that just makes him no better than that goon Rob Copeland - no talent thug.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
I think you'll find Jude said it himself straight after the game.
I don't read the Tele. SMH links to Realfooty which is pooled with the Age journos. Same news.

LOL I find the actions of the AFL downright hilarious atm
basically sydney can do no wrong as the AFL move to secure a population base in that area.
<shrug> the rules are Sydney players can belt anyone they like, have as many players on the ground as they like, and they won't cop a suspension unless they are injured in the action.
If sydney fail to win a premiership in 08 it will be a failure of demetriou's action plan

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
In the first quarter the great Goodes along with the rest of the unmighty Bloods looked like shit. And yes you got his name right and if you saw the hanger he took in that game and the fact he ____ed up his direct opponent all night long you'd probably reconsider your slurs on him. ____ it after years of getting Judd Cuzzy and Co being tagged by the Cortina's we've built our own tagger his name is Selwood he looks a bit different from Hunter.
Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
Is Hunter a match winner or a match loser. Given the result...
A mullet and a hanger does not a career make.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
I cannot believe the hysteria. The '3' incidents that everyone is talking about with Goodes.
Firstly a bit of a forearm belt into the back of Godfrey. Well honestly, that happens every week around the stoppages and off the ball. From what I could see Saturday night, Kerr did something very similar to Kirk off the ball.
The Thomas incident, every game you see blokes throw arms back like that and as for the last one, well, going on what they AFL has stated then it was worth a week, which he got and will be reduced with an early plea.
I seriously wonder how many people have actually played football on this forum. Go and watch a country match, and I don't necessarily mean the real bush leagues but the major leagues like the GFL or the Hampden and if the same consistency was applied there then a dozen players would be rubbed out every game.
To call Goodes a sniper is such an over reaction. Typical of most of the uneducated bogans that litter the crowds at the AFL.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
everything that everyone is upset about is all traced back to the AFL heirachy. The rules, MRP past decisions (yes they have been wrong and i can understand why people think goodes should have missed games based on the current pathetic rules and interpretations and targeting of specific infringments week to week).
i can't comprehend though why everyone is blaming goodes, and as for his past discresions and this one, if you think they make him a "sniper" or a "dog" then you are only perpetuating the softness of the league, and endorsing the AFL's decisions on rule changes. they weren't the kerr headbutt, or crawford lunging elbow.
The head should be protected, but this hit, was an accident (body contact was intended and occured). It was an illegal action that for it's merits should have stayed a free kick.
it all contributes to the AFL being a soft league, goodes hit was a free kick full stop move on.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
Unfortunately a hit like that to the kidney area has quite a bit of potential to cause damage!!

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
Exactly! So where is the scrutiny of the incident that Kerr did to Kirk? Geez i can only imagine if a Swans player did that they would be a thread right under the Goodes one.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
We have been over this yesterday Mr Lizard, head hight contact will only be classed as reckless if the MRP finds that the contact came from the front.
Once again I refer you to the Burton and Michael Johnson cases that clearly refer to the fact that high front on contact resulted in a reckless grading.
Despite the ravings of plenty of journalists, reckless was never going to pinned to this charge. Greame Bond from 3AW (noted as the foremost expert on the tribunal) confirmed reckless was never on the table. Greame however argued that they should have rated the contact as medium and threw it up to tribunal to argue the merit's of low or medium contact.
However based on the contact in the Murphy and Burgoyne cases the Swans QC Terry Forrest would have had a field day with a medium grading for contact.

Re: Adam Goodes offered a reprimand
I can think of some protection that Hawthorn has received lately.
How do we get this sort of protection from the AFL at other clubs? We should all just use the "Goodes defence"
